    Meh, go for the power you want man, lol... My car has 212 rwkw and it's responsive due to the stock turbos and auto cams, but a day after it was tuned I was over it and have wanted more ever since.

    After. I'm going for a drive in it too once it's had the tune. So it'll impact greatly with what direction I go.

    I didn't want an excuse, it has a forged bottom end already :(

    Did you retest after adding a touch of oil to that cylinder?

    Yeah, hit 150 in cyl one with the oil test.

    That's not terrible, I wouldn't be to phased on it. If you really are allow 2k for a shop to put new rings and bearings through it and have the heads serviced and thats it.

    So what do the other cylinders read with oil ?

    Did you start the motor ? how did it run ? could be valve related also .

    Motor runs fine due to the fact that it isn't super low. We didn't bother doing the oil test to other cylinders as there wasnt reason to.

    We're just about to pull the engine if you're not busy and want to "watch" :p

    Forgetting about the low comp

    I've been talking to a local member who's currently got a power figure of 390rwkw. He states that he's using GT525's and recommends that I go with the same turbo. He also mentioned that at roughly 3200-3500 rpm he would hit 15psi, which is considerably low compared to most builds of his scale. He obviously has had a fair bit of work done to it to reach those power figures. I'm not wanting to replicate those power figures as i'm not aiming that high.

    So I now pose the question:

    GT2560RS or GT525's?

    Well I have a set of 2560R's in the cupboard not doing anything.......

    Who is this local member as 390rwkw out of 525's sounds impressive actually freakishly impressive

    Going to double check those figures when I see his car, cause it's near impossible to... Will confirm in a few weeks.
